a combination of the collapse in a nontraditional gaming group pushing up numbers in 08 and console manufactures not cutting prices. the entry for a 360 should not be 200 new right now. until there is a change in price nothing or a more compelling product nothing will change. right now that looks to be the ps4.
it will be interesting to see how long MS sticks to their guns about 24hour check ins if it tanks in the first year… i say this as an 11 year member of live. for me it is no xbox one if i cannot play the game with a disc or offer a better offline mode.
